The issue
On certain trucks, the hole in the throttle lever and the stop pin may be mismatched which could allow the pin to loosen and fall out. Should this happen the tension spring attached to the throttle lever assembly would separate from the lever causing the lever to move to full throttle p osition, idle position or remain in the position the lever was in at the moment of failure. This could cause the vehicle to crash without prior warning.
